A convincing second-half display ensured victory for Carrigaline in this local derby in the Cork Premier IHC at Páirc Uí Rinn last evening.

Carrig see off Tracton

Even though the game petered out towards the finish, patrons witnessed an explosive start when, as early as the first minute, Carrigaline were reduced to 14 men as Peter Murphy received a straight red card from referee Conor Lane. Murphy was listed at number eight but had switched to centre back to deputise for Joe Moran.

Nevertheless Carrigaline left for the dressing room at half-time on parity at seven points apiece and went on to hammer home their supremacy in the closing quarter as they hit an impressive 1-5 while keeping Tracton to just one point. The numerical disadvantage was not apparent as they ran out nine-point winners in the end.
